Kai Po Che! has had a stronger box office opening than Zila Ghaziabad.

The adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life has seen higher occupancy rates than the Sanjay Dutt and Vivek Oberoi project.

Kai Po Che! actor Sushant Singh Rajput has admitted to not reading the book before starting work on his debut film, saying: "I did not read The 3 Mistakes of My Life and consider this as one of my biggest mistakes of my life. I only read the script and was really happy with it."

"I was a scholarship student in one of India's premium colleges. I chose this profession over engineering and that was not for stardom or money. I found the process of acting and film making very fascinating. Even if I don't get paid all my life, I would still do what I am doing."
